B-CYCLE

Rent a bicycle a.k.a. Bike Share, is finally in the US. Woohoo! The not so good news is that it's only available in Denver, Colorado. This European-style bike sharing system enables residents of Denver to access bicycles conveniently at various stations throughout the city. By replacing short car rides with environment-friendly biking, B-Cycle helps to keep the air clean, our bodies healthy, and spirits high.

Their bikes, made by Trek, are supposed to be low-maintenance and high tech. The company claims a B-cycle “never needs air in the tires or grease on the chain.” They’re also outfitted with electronic gadgetry: “All your rides are tracked by the system. Data such as distance, duration, calories burned, and carbon offset will be captured and uploaded to your personal page at Bcycle.com.” Denver is the first city in line. They’re getting a 500-bike, 30-40 station B-Cycle system this summer.
